The Montérégie Health Agency is giving a long-term care facility 30 days to comply with recommended changes after two caregivers were arrested last December and charged with mistreating elderly patients at the CHSLD in Saint-Lambert sur-le-golf.

The President and CEO of the Montérégie Health Agency, Richard Deschamps, says the accusations of assaulting and drugging elderly patients compelled the agency to order an investigation.

“Considering the seriousness of the acts that were committed, we had the obligation to do something,” said Deschamps.
